Coach K, Williams stoke Duke-UNC fire

It seems like one coach wants to make excuses for his team while the other one just wants to get on with the bussiness of the day and coach his. Also, some coaches turn down coaching job offers very quietly while other coaches call a news conference and have their A.D. sit beside them with cameras rolling and bulbs flashing just to announce that he has been offered another job and that he might not take it. Now who is flying above the radar.

Coach K should mind his own business so he doesn't loose to teams like Miami!!! I Cant wait till march 8th, maybe Roy and Mike can punch it out center court. What a heavy weight fight that would be! I would buy a ticket.

Please lets not get out of control..... Roy Williams has always been a baby! Always has excuses for his losses... K never has them, in fact he always says the team he played had every bit to do with his teams loss as it itself has... Colonel Mustard called for you NC fans, he says GET A CLUE!!!

Mike Krzyzewski is and always has been the all-time cry baby who cries at every game to every ref when the call goes against the Blue Devils from Duke. He applauds just as emotionally when the calls go against his opponents. The same ego takes over when his boys lose one, so he chooses to blame it on injuries as though no other top team needs a team physician at courtside except Duke.

Having lived in NC for 49 years and being a life-long basketball fan, I have seen the comments of Duke and UNC coaches over the years. One thing has always been true since Coach K has been at Duke, the jabs ALWAYS start with him. He is sometimes very subtle about it, but anyone that has lived here and been an ACC fan knows the meaning. I do regret that Williams responded as strong as he did. I would have preferred him to stay above it. Go HEELS.

Coach Williams and Coach K are excellent coaches, What would be even better if they met in the NCAA tournament and North Carolina knocked Duke right out of the tournament.

I can see why the man from Washington wants to remain as John Doe. At the risk of sounding snobbish, anybody with a passing knowledge of the subject knows Coach K pulled the all time blame problems on injuries by calling in an entire season sick when the year started with a few losses, and then had the nerve
to have the NCAA charge the losses to his assistant coach, who collected his assistant coach salary all year. This is from the self proclaimed teacher of life. All the bright folks from Durham over the years could get on Dean Smith was that he smoked, and now Roy Williams is a whiner. Pretty weak in my opinion.

Coach K couldn't hold Coach Smith jockstrap. He doesn't have the class of Coach Smith.

both of these coaches have excuses for their losses Roy says Ty Lawson and K will say that it just wasnt there night or something to that effect i dont think that it should be as big as it is all they are doing are fueling a rivalry that doesnt need it

and also i am a duke fan and i think it is wrong that k left for a season it is stupid that he did that

but every coach argues with a ref its not just that one coach and yall can say it all you want but its not jsut him Roy does it to and any other good coach for that matter.

Just forget about it nothing but jabbing is meant by the two coaches not any media attention so just dont worry about it
